We describe a short series of 5 cases of incidental pneumoparotid, for the first time, detected during neck contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) examination. </p><p> <strong>Methods</strong> All neck CECT examinations that had been acquired over a 4-month period for indications other than pertaining to the parotid gland were retrospectively analyzed. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong> Four hundred cases were reviewed. Five of 80 patients in whom CECT was acquired after the “puffed cheek” maneuver were detected to have incidental pneumoparotid. All remained clinically asymptomatic during the examination. </p><p> <strong>Conclusions</strong> Pneumoparotid may be an incidental finding in patients asked to blow air in a closed mouth during CT/magnetic resonance acquisition. An awareness of this benign finding would prevent sudden alarm of interpreting it as an anaerobic infection of the parotid in such patients. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery,Oral Medicine,Oral Pathology,Oral Radiology </p><p><a href="http://www.ooooe.net/article/PIIS2212440312014563/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0033ff"> Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-759&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Chirag Kamal Ahuja 10031947532846003215 10031947532846003215 Yes Sector 12, Chandigarh, India Mukesh Kumar Yadav 10031947532846003216 10031947532846003216 No Vivek Gupta 10031947532846003217 10031947532846003217 No Niranjan Khandelwa 10031947532846003218 10031947532846003218 No
